I'm not Satanist, always seemed like the dumbest religion to me anyway. Satan is a fictional character in the Bible that it already says will lose some fantasy battle in the end, so why worship a loser?

You obviously know nothing about satanists. Almost all satanists are laveyan satanists who are auto-diestic they use the name satanism for the symbolism and as an "idiot filter" basically they don't want anyone to join that would think they beleive in a diety.

Also if someone worships the christian devil or satan that makes them a type of chhristian as they're using the same set of beleifs. those people are called devil worshipers, theistic satanists cal their god satan but it's not the christian versio n it just shares the name.

I'm not a Satanist, but I know a bit about the belief system as a whole.

First of all, not all Satanists worship Satan. Some Satanists are auto-deists. These Satanists are almost always LaVeyan Satanists. They don't believe Satan actually exists; rather, they view Satan as a representation of human nature. However, some Satanists DO worship Satan and are called Theistic Satanists.

Also, the desire to go to Hell isn't inherent to Satanism. LaVeyan Satanists don't believe in any sort of afterlife at all. The views of a Theistic Satanists concerning the afterlife aren't necessarily consistent. Some of them believe in Hell and want to go there, but don't see it as a place of eternal punishment like, say, a Christian would.

So to answer your question, some do, but they aren't thinking of Hell the same way most do.

Again, I couldn't disagree more with that erroneous statement. Having had personal dealings with several LaVeyans and other Satanists over a period of thirty or so years, I can tell you from personal experience that you're absolutely 99.999% wrong. There is such a thing as an atheistic Satanists, but they are indeed a macro-minority among Satanists and are only loosely associated with the LaVeyans. Most actual Satanists agree that without the Abrahamic god of the Christian bible, their chosen deity wouldn't and couldn't exist.

Did you not read what I wrote above? I clearly stated that "there IS such a thing as atheistic Satanists, but they are indeed a macro-minority among Satanists and are only loosely associated with the LaVeyans." I'm still correct and Wiki is incorrect. You DO realize that anyone can edit a Wiki page, right?

well first of all Satan is a term from the Bible, and since the Bible is supposedly the world of God, and it tells us that God is omnipotent and omniprescent, who can glean from that that Satan is better and more powerful?

It's not a matter of going somewhere good or bad. Other than putting yourself in a bad state of mind. Really the only thing Laveyan Satanists can do is let themselves down or make themselves happy. Its about 'worshipping' themselves and living their lives to the fullest ( in whatever way they see is the best for them). I personally am only Laveyan Satanist because of those rules and what they do for themselves. But I share views with several religions based on their morals and ideology. Like I do believe in a type of hell and a type of heaven but I am far from Christian. I believe you make your own hell if you go against your own morals and beliefs and you know you're doing something you shouldn't. But I believe if you build up enough good karma in your life that when you do move on to the next stage of existence then you will subconsciously create a good place for you to spend however long you are in that next stage of life. Kind of like that movie 'What Dreams May Come' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
